92 octain (the highest we get where I live) is about $3.30 USD/gallon
Thats 3.76$ in aud
1 gallon is about 3.78 liters.
Thats almost exactly $1 aud/liter

Yeah, I always get a chuckle out of people who are so shocked about gas prices here in the US. Just wait till they have to start paying what everyone else does.

How much do you think 100 octane costs here? We are paying over $3.00 a gallon for 91 octane.

98-99 in their country is the same gas as 92-93 octane in our country.

They rate their gas in RON, we rate it in PON or RON+MON/2. Check out the pumps next time you fill up, there will be a sticker somewhere that says (R+M/2)

Maybe ?

Maybe.

Have you put the car over a dyno yet.

Have you got a rotor compression test.

Your avatar picture shows a sunroof if that is your car I don't think it will be the RZ.

I live in Canberra by the way so if you are curious about anything I might be able to help.

Importantly how does it go and stop both should be very good on the RZ.

same here in Japan

i think 40K is a bargain mate, they dont seem to drop much in price even in Japan. Ive actually seen a few FDs recently for sale higher than the price they were originally sold from the factory. I saw a blue RB going for 33,000 the other day and they sold for 32,000 new!

haha...not anymore mate, our dollar is very similar to yours at the moment. Cars hold there value more in Australia, this is a good thing for car owners and is one reason why import regs are so strict. Interestingly a corvette C5 sell for around 100,000+ dollars in Australia
